Why Pelosi Is Stonewalling

27032020

Washington, D.C.

Why is Nancy Pelosi gumming up the works to get the Covid-19 stimulus bill passed?

There’s the obvious reason: Whenever there’s a big important bill that is going to be signed, everyone and their brother and sister who happened to win one of 535 certain elections is going to load it down with their pet rhinestones.

But there’s another reason, which points to political psychology and positioning, in light of what will theoretically happen in November.

The moment Trump inks the bill, he will have instantly moved to the left of Joe Biden, and as left wing as Bernie Sanders, on economic issues and other adjacent issue bases. Which means that, no matter where you look on the political spectrum, with the exceptions of the most extremes of the right and left, Trump will at least partially fill the atmosphere.

Pelosi knows that her letting go of the bill will mean that whatever tiny chances her party’s nominee to had to win in November, (if November happens in the way it normally should), are kaput. So, she’s going to use the opportunity to get as much as possible for her individual caucus members, and the House Democrats’ collective interests.

Two professors of medicine at Stanford University published an opinion article Tuesday in the Wall Street Journal, suggesting there is little evidence that the coronavirus would kill millions of people without shelter-in-place orders and quarantines.

A top government official in France has admitted that draconian lockdown measures being imposed on the rest of the population shouldn’t be implemented in the country’s migrant-heavy ghettos in order to prevent riots.

I understand why they’re doing it. The sane people are following orders, so they’ll be less susceptible than otherwise. Meanwhile, the very last thing Paris needs now is an urban lumpenproletarian riot. So just ignore them, don’t enforce the distancing mandates on them. And if Covid-19 is as bad as some say, and they catch it and get sick and kark, well, then, Darwin Award.

GENEVA, March 27 (Reuters) – Social unrest could erupt among the urban poor and marginalised in the West’s biggest cities as they lack sources of income amid the COVID-19 crisis, the head of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) said on Friday.

New York City is now the center of the worst COVID-19 outbreak in the United States, but @Gothamist reports that it hasn't stopped people from crowding city parks, even right outside the mayor's home. https://t.co/mo4nDbXt9v

Say what you want now, but this has nothing to do with coronavirus. This has been going on for 3 years. Schumer and Pelosi win every single battle. They just dangle a few insane extra stuff in their they know they wont get to give GOP chance to save face and say they got stuff.

Not sure if I’ve stumbled onto something clinically significant here, but I’ve pretty much been living on chips, salsa, chocolate and red wine for the past ten days — And I haven’t had as much as a sniffle. Just saying. #COVIDー19#coronageddon@Johnnydontlike@AnnCoulter

WASHINGTON—The State Department is further easing requirements on seasonal foreign worker visas, following agriculture industry warnings that a bottleneck created by coronavirus-related curbs could prompt a farm-labor shortage at the peak of spring harvest.

As many people in self-isolation around the world experience loneliness, the King of Thailand has rented out an entire hotel in Germany for his harem of 20 women and servants for his comfort.

Thailand’s King Maha Vajiralongkorn, 67, has turned the Covid-19 self-isolation up a notch by applying for a special permit to rent out the Grand Hotel Sonnenbichl at a time where all other hotels in Germany have closed down to contain the spread of the coronavirus.

United States: number of new deaths AND number of new cases down from the day before. No more exponential growth (e.g. "doubling every three days"). But, of course, we'll see. I still think peak happens around April 15 but hopefully stabilize before then.

1/ Japan, Japan. Japan is THE puzzle in all of this. It has avoided the steps Western health experts demand – no lockdown, few tests. It has an aged population, huge cities, close air links to China. It should have been overrun a month ago. Instead, NO outbreak. Why? https://t.co/5ZjCIRAeYO

Everyone in the far east is now wearing medical masks and not spewing out virus aerosol everywhere. Because we outsourced our medical supply production and CAN’T provide our citizens with such basic protection (the Coronavirus equivalent of when the Surgeon General told the queers to wear rubbers) the government tells sour grape stories about how we don’t really need those masks anyway. It’s settled medical science over in Asia, they dealt with SARS and had a plan for when it came back, and that’s what this is, SARS2.

Eight sex offenders, three of which were convicted for raping children, were released in the state of New York as a statewide initiative led by Governor Andrew Cuomo (D) to empty prisons in fear that inmates will contract the Chinese coronavirus.

NYC’s Department of Health is bending over backwards to warn the public about a whole new threat — “rim jobs.”

The city’s health agency issued graphic guidelines for safe sex practices during the coronavirus pandemic Saturday, and while many were quick to take jabs at the agency for labeling masturbation safer than sex with a partner, most missed the backdoor rim shot.
